SPRING B RE AK
Everyone enjoyed this mid-week break, making new friends in a relaxed atmosphere and having fellowship together. The hotel was very comfortable, the staff helpful, and the food was excellent. Don’t miss out, but be sure to join us for Spring Break next year.
Perfect weather for a most enjoyable spring break Spring Break was blessed with days of blue sky and sunshine – perfect weather to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the North Coast.
5.30pm on Tuesday 22nd May saw those who attended Spring Break gathering in Magherabuoy House Hotel for their first meal together, and a chance to get to know one another. On Wednesday morning the group headed to Ballymoney to see the Joey Dunlop Memorial Gardens, and enjoy some shopping in the unique shops in the town. Some had an afternoon stroll on the beach at Portrush, and even a paddle in the sea! On Thursday, the outing was to Ballintoy Harbour, and most made their way to Portstewart for the afternoon.
After breakfast each day we all went to Rosemary and Trevor’s caravan where Trevor led our morning devotions and we had a cup of tea or coffee. We also had a time of fellowship after our meal each evening. On Tuesday, Rosemary talked about the 4 standards of CE, and how the CE Promise should apply to our lives each day. We enjoyed hearing about the work of Smiles Foundation in Romania on Wednesday evening.
On Thursday, Douglas shared some challenging thoughts on the Parable of the Sower, and we all tried our hand at playing some choruses using hand bells. It required concentration! THE IRISH ENDEAVOURER
